Mine have been on their way from England for a couple of days, but most likely will not be here quite on the release day. Still the best way for me to get them, though.
The Gamestop I pre-ordered from is having a midnight release however I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning. We are having really heavy rain here and I don't want to be driving in that weather at midnight tonight since the store is half hour away going though dimly lit area since I'm living in rural area right now.
Will probably be able to get it only around Christmastime, since I need to get myself a 3DS as well first- and I'll be able to get to a game shop around then.
Got mine, man is this game something. While the overall system is the same (I mean, it's Pokemon) it feels fresh with the 3D look to it. I just got too the area with the fossil Pokemon.
Just got it this morning and have been playing bits of it today.
I really like the graphics, and much of the game is pretty impressive at this point.
I didn't get too far though but the exp share changes definently I like because it's always a pain to have to train a whole team individually by or by area.
